Investigators have ruled out the version of a terrorist act behind the severe incident on the Struma Motorway, which claimed the lives of 44 people. According to Deputy Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov, a leading version of investigators is human error that caused the crash of the bus transporting people to North Macedonia. Investigative bodies of North Macedonia and Bulgaria continue working on the case.
According to one of the survivors, eight people, not seven, survived the terrible accident. The young man who helped the other survivors leave the burning bus told details about the accident at a private meeting with the Spokesperson of Bulgaria’s Prosecutor General Siyka Mileva at Pirogov Hospital for Emergency Medicine. Later, he told the investigators the same. However, only 7 people were accommodated at the hospital. That is why, Bulgaria’s authorities are yet to find out whether there is another survivor.
In an interview for MIA agency, the Director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Skopje Alexander Stankov said that 44 bodies were found on the scene of the tragic road accident on Struma motorway. However, the exact number of the victims of the accident will be clear after a DNA analysis is done.
